Schrader Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kolan Vineyard Napa Valley 2004 750ml

Fred Schrader built his reputation on Cabernet Sauvignon from Andy Beckstoffer's share of the historic To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, and the 2004 Beckstoffer To Kalon earned a perfect 100 points from Wine Advocate. Wine Advocate praised its lavender, cedarwood, crème de cassis, blackberry, smoke and incense, with broad, full-bodied opulence and ethereal complexity. Wine Spectator later described it as "stunningly complex and beautifully crafted," with blackberry, raspberry, plum and boysenberry and fresh earth notes. Now more than two decades old, this Napa Valley Cabernet has resolved into a seamless, mature wine. Drink it over the next several years; Wine Spectator suggested a window through 2030.
